ENCODER COUPLINGS
We offer encoder couplings compatible with Heidenhain rotary and linear encoder shafts, optimized for CNC and machine-tool applications. Our range includes flexible couplings and precision disc/bellows styles designed to transmit motion without backlash while compensating for angular, parallel, and axial misalignment. Couplings are selected to protect the encoder from transmitted shaft runout and vibration, improving measurement stability and prolonging encoder life.
Coupling selection is matched to the encoder model, shaft diameter, and application dynamics. Options include low-inertia flexible couplings for high-speed spindles, torsionally stiff disc couplings for tight position control, and damped elastomeric variants where vibration isolation is required. All couplings are balanced and finish-machined to reduce eccentricity and preserve encoder accuracy.
Key benefits
- Backlash-free power transmission for precise feedback.
- Misalignment compensation to reduce bearing and encoder wear.
- Vibration damping options to improve signal stability.
- Matched sizes for Heidenhain shaft diameters and mounting requirements.
Need help choosing the right cable or coupling for a specific encoder model or machine? Provide the encoder part number and basic machine layout (shaft diameter, max speed, and mounting space) and I’ll recommend the exact Heidenhain compatible assembly and installation notes.
